Plot

Yuki Hirano (Shota Sometani) fails his college entrance exam, but he's not all that worried about it. As a slacker, he figures he can take it easy for a year and maybe re-take the test. His girlfriend Reina though decides to move on without him.
Later, Yuki notices a flyer. There's a pretty girl (Masami Nagasawa) on the cover with the caption "Come Work With Us." Yuki decides to take up the offer. He'll have to travel to a small remote town, that doesn't even have cell phone coverage, and take training classes for 30 days. If all goes well, he'll work as a trainee forester for one year in a even more remote mountain area. Can Yuki ever hope to survive his new wood job!?!?
